Geology of Bodega Bay, California

[@Tsukiko.97]

Living in Sonoma and with me regularly going to Bodega I never knew this, awesome video!

[@EdwardSeatonSailing]

this was fantastic! I live on a small boat in Bodega Bay and knew all about the Faultline, but I didn't know it was traveling north! That's super interesting!

I'm doing my Masters thesis on portions of the Franciscan (Skaggs Springs Schist) with the one and only Dr. Wakabayashi and I gotta say: the explanation of this area you've done is awesome. While some of the dates may be slightly off, the way you've explained the geology was fun and a great change of pace from scientific literature. Geologists love corny geology jokes and you're great at them! Perhaps continue the series south to Point Reyes, and Point Lobos!

Thanks man! Yeah there's more videos to be done in that area for sure. You may enjoy one that I did for the Marin Headlands area: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eobHnKepmcdnqtk Thanks again for watching and I hope you have a great experience with your master's project! -AJ

well bodega bay wont get past the triple junction before subduction of the Juan de Fuca pushes that portion of the plate into north ca and Or, nick zenter has many great videos on the Baja-bc land movements on along the west coast think I've seen all of them.
